Reboot Retrocade and Bar
When I'm not doing my radio show
on 100.5 FM, I tend bar at Reboot
Retrocade and Bar. I've been there for
just over two years now, and I couldn't
be happier. I love everyone – from
the owners all the way down to the
barbacks. It's more like hanging out
with friends than working.
My usual go-to quarantine drink
would either be beer or good bourbon
with light rocks, but my significant
other does not share those tastes. If
there is anything I've learned at Reboot,
it's that you can keep the ingredients
simple and still make something bright,
tasty and boozy. I call this drink a Long
Day Off, mainly because that is what
was required by my test subject after a
few of these.
It's a simple, but delicious and
deceptively strong drink that can ruin
tomorrow for you if you aren't careful.
It is best consumed while staring
judgmentally out the window at your
neighbors who aren't social distancing
and pairs well with binge-watching a
comedy – I recommend "Letterkenny,"
"The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" or
"Community."
